The biggest question regarding Haden recently is his healthy. During the last two seasons, Haden has suffered a number of injuries, including a groin injury that required offseason surgery. Reportedly, Haden is healthy now, but the Browns decided to cut ties with him largely in part because of his big contract.

Haden was scheduled make $11.1 million this season for the Browns. Cleveland reportedly approached Haden about taking a pay cut, but he did not agree to it, according to ESPN. The team then attempted to trade Haden but could not find a willing taker.

Miami should sign Haden if only for the right price. The team has uncertain at the cornerback position opposite second-year player Xavien Howard. Byron Maxwell has been inconsistent during his tenure in Miami. Sure, he performed well later on during the 2016 season, but Maxwell’s poor play was the reason he was benched in the first place.

According to Over the Cap, the Dolphins currently have $8.4 million in cap space. But how much would Haden command on the open market?

With Haden likely having a ton of interest from contending teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs, the Dolphins may have to get into a bidding war to obtain Haden. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Haden’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said there’s “tons of interest in him. He will have a new deal with another team by tomorrow afternoon.”

With the signing of Jay Cutler in August, the Dolphins have put all of their chips on the table and are in win-now mode. If they believe a player like Haden can help them return to the playoffs for the second straight season, they shouldn’t hesitate to try and make the deal happen.
